Child Custody Issues

By David L. Hudson Jr.

Child custody is one of the most contentious areas of the law, with parents battling over control of their children. In this all-new title, three major areas of controversy in child custody are examined: the viability of the "best interest of the child" standard; the rights of custodial and noncustodial parents; and the impact of race in child custody proceedings. Is the "best interest" standard too malleable or does it provide needed flexibility? Does the law unduly favor custodial parents or should noncustodial parents receive more rights? Should race even be a factor in child custody disputes? Child Custody Issues addresses these questions and many more in clear prose and examples through primary source material.
